QDebug "breaks" outputting a char with value 0?
-
Care to guess what would the output of this code be?
@ char c = 0;
for (int i = 0; i < 4; ++i) qDebug() << c << i << endl;@A hint - there is no output... as of why, it will be nice if someone briefly explains the internals of qDebug and what is the reason for this behavior...

Hi,
Just a quick thinking: c becomes the ascii character 0 which is invisible ?
-
Yes, if you use std::cout or QTextStream you will get an invisible character for c, but you will also get i and endl, while with qDebug the entire chain is terminated when the 0 char is reached so an invisible character is not being output, nor any of the stuff that follows.
-
First, QTextStream is used to generate a QString.
Then, this string get output by following line.@
fprintf(stderr, "%s", logMessage.toLocal8Bit().constData())
@Consider that the first Char of the logMessage is '\0', so the length of the C string const char * will be zero. Though the length of the QString is not zero.
